1985 Map of Darwin Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Owens Lake and the high peaks of the Panamint Range anchor this 1985 study of a landscape defined by desert mining and vast military reserves. The map details the transition from the Inyo Mountains across the Panamint Valley to the heights of Death Valley National Monument, featuring Telescope Peak and its surrounding canyons. Economic history is visible in the numerous mining sites like the Modoc Mine and Ophir Mtn Mine, while the southern reaches are dominated by the Naval Weapons Center. Settlement patterns are sparse, ranging from the lakeside community of Keeler to the high-elevation Darwin and the historic Lookout City (Site). Transportation is represented by the Southern Pacific rail line and a network of 4WD trails leading to remote sites like the Anthony Mill Ruins and the iconic Charcoal Kilns near Mahogany Flat.
